Wow. I just noticed that. And check out the lips. I think he's the only male character so far with lips.

Ouch. They were indeed painful to watch. The piercings that is.
These shorts that came with the BD/DVD releases weren't content heavy, as you'd expect, but nonetheless provided enjoyable padding to the main story. (someone who knows can tell us whether these were studio-developed, or adapted from the manga).
The first OVA only concreted the idea that human transmutation without a philosopher's stone was impossible, but I really enjoyed 2 and 3. In particular, OVA2 answers the long-nagging question of where all those piercings came from, and while it was funny to know that they were "+1 life" tokens from Ed, it was even more interesting to know that both Hawkeye and Winry's somewhat similar appearance wasn't co-incidence or laziness on behalf of the author. (If the latter was true, then at least she was motivated enough to work around that laziness).
OVA3 was pure joy. Remember how wolves are meant to work together and pick off the weakest link? When these guys don't even want to get involved, you know you up against shit you don't wanna mess with.

Which leads me back to "Where did the Amestris army find a brutha in the FMA world?"
It's FABulous.
So much action, so much of everything that's awesome.
And Behold, MUSCLES !
Christ. They were quick about this one.
It feels like a lot of ppl are gonna die next week. Let's see what his ultimate eye is made of.
Finally Sloth is dead.. he was starting to get on my nerves.
Those muscle scenes turned out hilarious, much more so than the old ones where Armstrong was alone. There was some condensed shounen spirit there, reaching the same kind of atmosphere Gurren Lagann had. Even though those men were hardly young anymore.
The doll soldiers have been disappointing, though. Maybe the scientist who said they aren't yet finished was more correct than he even knew. They are so brainless zombies that they pose a significant danger only to small packs of ordinary footmen taken by surprise. I wish they had taken a more horror story like approach with them, making them appear out of nowhere, overpower, kill, and disappear, with only briefly shown on screen. This cannon fodder approach makes them no good and hardly worth the attention.
Well, with Wrath returning home, I guess there's no need to worry about enemies being too weak.
Another Homunculus bites the dust, so that leaves just Pride and Wrath for the bad guys.
Loved the muscle friendship scenes, those were some epic manly sparkles going on there.
Looking forward to some more bradley action, man did he cut a bullet in half in the preview? XD insane.
Haha, and here I thought Alex was getting shown down, only to find that he'd actually join in. Having witnessed the bear throw not too long ago, it was fun to see Sloth posing no more a threat than a bear hunt for Izumi.
I wonder what Hoenheim did that stopped Father from absorbing his stone...

I'd imagine Hoenheim have tried to either get rid of the stone or tweak it somehow so that he'd be able to age and die. And maybe that was a result of it.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
YES finally!, next ep is going to be Wrath-tastic!!

I've still got to watch the third one but those first 2 were quite enjoyable, thanks for the links.
this week was okay (yeah, the dolls pretty much lose their effect after the first three episodes). i thought the scene with Armstrong and Izumi's husband could have been funnier, and i was pretty disappointed with the fight between Hoenheim and Father.
Bradley is the fucking man.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
From this episode it became apparent that most of the "high level" alchemists (the ones who have some knowledge of the truth, or don't use transmutation circles) focus mainly on solid matter + shape manipulation. Ed, Al, Father, Hoenheim and Izumi all predominantly used the surrounding earth/walls to make projectiles, tools or giant fists for the most part, while the only "normal" alchemist to do so was Alex.
It irks me to know why that's the case, whether solid matter is the most effective, or if their knowledge doesn't extend to more specialised fields such as ice, fire or whatever's been shown.
That is, if those are even a "specialization" compared to matter transmutation at all.

Well, normal alchemists have to use transmutation circles. Otherwise, they have one written on their hands or somewhere for easy use all the time on their technique they're good at. They can't just use random crap in their surrounds, but they probably would if they could. Fire is special, seeing how only Mustang can do it. For ice you would need water, and I'm assuming it's much harder and would take more energy to use random hydrogen from somwhere. It doesn't really exist in nature. And I don't know about the other elements, earth, wind, and heart.
But I'm guessing large hard things are much easier to aim then, say, a spear or lightning, so that's why they might use it more often.
lol since when is heart an element?
